Red Hat Enterprise 6.2 vs. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Performance benchmarks between Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 versus a development snapshot of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Both using x86_64 versions and tested across three different systems using an Intel Core i7 3960X Sandy Bridge Extreme, a low-end consumer Sandy Bridge system, and a dual AMD Opteron configuration. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.
